- L4/L5-L5/S1 spinal fusion with hardware and all that. Spasms in my back are playing musical muscles...I have a different angry back muscle per day it seems. Gotta stretch...Hot tub!!!...Eat and drink right too. I'm gonna try my best to be a champion with a fusion, not a bummer!
I came across your videos that are 2 years old. Believe me your positivity and honesty helps. I'm 52 and have worked in the hvac trade for 30 years, last 15 years with an nhl/nba arena. Now they are telling me to put away the tools. First surgery was L4-L5 discectomy 6/16, L4-L5 TLIF fusion 6/18, then an auto accident at work 4/20, finally had my surgery for L4-L5-S1 July 12&13/21.
I can say this video gave me strength, may not turn wrenches again but with enough years in the trades & nhl I can put my brains to work. Thank you for this and all your videos. 👍👊💪❤
I'm in your back surgery group, and wanted to say thanks for letting me into your personal journey. Hey, if you only make it thru to just one person, then it's all worth it! 👍 I'm guessing that most people are so taken aback with your strength and positivity, that they're left speechless.
I'll be heading for an L4/L5 TLIF in 7 weeks and am starting to scare myself shitless. I'm one pretty tough chick (and roll with the same protection as you 😉), but big difference is that I've never been through any type of major surgery in my life at 58 years old.
I also have a non-existent core, an already high tolerance to Oxy making pain control a challenge, and will be released from the hospital to a totally empty house, doing recovery 100% alone. Not much scares me in life, if anything, but this is topping my list right now . As a self-reliant and resourceful woman for the past couple of decades, that has always taken care of her own self... not having one single friend or family member here to help me, is gonna be a real trip. I'll take any prayers someone can muster up!
Great job with your recovery, and I wish you all the best!! 👍
Oh yeah... one last thing... slow the hell down, and take it easy!!
😉😉👌🇺🇸
Thank you for share your story. I hope you are doing well. It really shed a light for my wife.
Thank you for your work on the videos. I will turn 61 in 10 days. 220 lbs. Working all my life. About a year ago I was working 2 jobs 17 hrs a day for four years. Had to stop that. Looking at getting fusion surgery L2345. Been on hydrocodone 10/325 for ten years. Just been getting worse, depression, thinking about suicide. But I trust in the Lord. I here you and can side with what you say. I hope my outcome is as good as yours. It will be hard to live no money at all except for my job.
I hope that your fusion goes down perfectly, but also that the God helps you with getting off of the pills when the time comes. I would imagine that is going to be a rough ride. Best wishes and God Bless.
May the next two months be even better!
Thanks Peter!
Keep up the good work! There are going to be good days and there will be days that are nothing but a challenge, but we got this. You are going to come out of this so much better than ever!
I love you so much. You're the meaning in my life!
Thank you, sir! Great VLOG!
Thanks man. I'm still a work in progress and have some crappy days here and there, but I am not willing to be a back surgery victim.
🙏 amen I’m 4 weeks post op and doing very well. ❤️🩹
You’re doing a great job with the videos. I’m happy to hear you’re doing well. Happy New Year to you and Amelia!
Hello friend how you doing now years later
You are doing so much better than I am. I am 9 weeks out and it’s hard. I have massive muscle spasms that hurt and numbness in my feet that I did not have before. You are lucky.
It all still comes and goes. I have days and weeks that are absolutely impossible, but I can't let this back ruin my life. Best wishes. It will improve.
jon It’s been 3+ months and I’m not improving... bedridden with increasing pain, muscle spasms and debilitating state. I’m seeing doctors for revision surgery. I wish I had never got surgery in the first place. My surgeon is denying my outcome which is a nightmare.
Hi Jon thank u so much for letting me watch yr journey. Im going to watch all yur videos. .How u doing today?
I'll be honest with you and tell you that I haven't felt as good as I did at 3 months post-op. My lower back and hip joints hurt every single day. I do work again, full time, and my job is pretty physical. I have good days but nothing as good as the way I felt for months 2 and 3. I am sorry that I stopped making videos, but when things started feeling like crap again I didn't feel like sharing anymore. Maybe I will again at 1 year post-op. That will be Nov. 5th
Thank you. Same surgery with bad spasms when I lay down
Jared Cart i just had a 3 level spinal fusion 8 days ago and the m dealing with killer spasms when I lay down. Was there anything that helped you through this?
Thanks in advance!
